We offer programming to many different kinds of organizations including schools (middle and high, higher education and professional schools), museums, congregations and denominations, towns, corporate, non-profit, and philanthropic organizations and professional conferences. To read about the substance of our programming, please click here.

Much of our programming makes use of the film Traces of the Trade: A Story from the Deep North, which is a powerful educational resource. Experienced members of our staff and participants in the film, including DeWolf family members, are available for public speaking, facilitation, and to lead programs. Below is a menu of program offerings, and at right is a link to video showing our programs and speakers in action.
